    I'm frankly amazed this topic has gotten so many hits. Given, half of the posts here are in response to Eze's "teenage boys are dumb" comment rather than Boo's original post, but still. :rolleyes:

    The girls I went too school with, behaved among themselves like hyenas. They were always intrigueing against eachother. Like a soap opera. Which became quite annoying after a while.

    Stupid blonde girls. Wicked, wretched, preppie demons of our kind. Those should be executed.

    I beg to differ. It's exactly as though you were talking about girls. And I'm serious on this one.

    Bah, it's useless trying to prove the characteristics of one sex. I know plenty of people (myself included) who are irrational, spontaneous, and completely... [not calm], and there is no majority of girls/guys.
    And some of us value our ability to act on instincts. ;)

    Well...she is 13, so probably she hasn't been asked out.

    Anyway, I personally love books, not only do they help you pass off the time, it also helps in school.

    I would just like to point out the incredible irony inherent in the fact that a group of supposedly uber literate people have generated over 60 responses to a converstion that began with "Books Sucks". I have analyzed my responding behaviour and decided not to reply (after this ;) )to any thread that shows such heinous grammatical flaws.

    In other words, if we are literate and love reading (as so many have so eloquently argued) we should be reading or talking amongst ourselves, not responding to dumb people!

    That's the pessimistic way to look at it. The optimistic way is, there's nothing which those people can't turn into something. That is not incredible irony, that is incredible creativity!

    Well, well. What can one expect from Minsc's rodent? Although I would have thought Boo to be infinitely smarter than the one that showed up on SP, though.

    And it is really funny the way how all the little boys here respond so defensively to Eze's comment.

    Anyway, with Boo gone, I suspect we shall see little bashing of one of my favorite pastimes: reading books.

    :D Hope he's having fun working as a convenient store cashier (enough brains?) or as a publice toilet cleaner these days.
